Doug...

I know what you are saying, and it has a lot of merit.. There is quite a bit of history here.. And a lot of it is something I need to go over. I suspect you are taking this to levels that really don't need to be ventered in....

Tell you what, since it seems rather clear that an issue exists up with respect to disagreements in technical matters, I won't do it anymore.. If I see something factually incorrect, I will let it go...as hard as that will be for me, I will do so...

Sadly, the cult of sentiment wins out over technical accuracy. A sad thing indeed for a supposedly technical forum... This place will be the poorer for it...<s>
